cv and covering letter

as part of my ppd tasks i have to create a covering letter and a cv, particularly a creative one.
some here is some examples to look at for ideas.

c.v.

'Just a creative way to get a graphic design job, while expressing author’s parallel interest in fabric and sewing.'

portable and differnt design that makes this c.v. interesting

cv that matches the designers branding.

cv that works as booklet, nice idea, bright and bold colours and proffesional looking.

i quite like this one the best but may not the best the best for being cost affective.

"CV interpreted into a A2 poster. A poster designed to be printed A2 size, put in a A4 envelope and mailed to prospective employers."

simple,legiable,cost affective with it being in black and white aswell as having a slight creative twist with the position of the type turned

folded like booklet

simple design with design on front and cv inside this, similar to a card and would work nice and would be diffrent to do one is this format that would stand out and potential employers could stand it up on their and would not loose it.

i think i may do a design like this that will include some examples of my work.

this will also tie in with my business stationary making my brand work together and giving it recognition.

" if an A4 page is folded in half so that it is A5 in size, it will fit into a C5 envelope (which will be the same size as a C4 envelope folded in half)"

this will be my guide for creating this idea.

covering letter

these 2 are quite bland and boring looking.

this will definately fet you notice but dont think it will end with a job

this is nice as it adds some personality and makes it less bland to look it and makes it more diffrent having something incorporated in to the design of the covering letter along with shaping the text, shows some creativity at a low key.

i quite like the idea of this will follow through with this idea, using my identity.

"Make three versions of your resume/portfolio. One online as a website, one printed (resume created in Microsoft Word, portfolio in a book/case) and one on a CD (as a slideshow or PDF). Employers will generally ask for all three, so they can screen you before giving interviews."

This is something i will need to keep in mind and will be useful in the future when applying for jobs.
